Let's be clear, this economy was headed down the toilet WAY before any hostilities occurred in Ukraine. Unemployment and jobs numbers may look ok depending on how you extract the data, but you can't argue that from Jan 2021 to Nov 2021, inflation was up over 5% already (over 7% now), and average gas prices were up almost 40% (almost 50% now)...just a couple examples. The best way to measure the economy is how voters feel about it, and I don't know many people that feel too good about it. Maybe in your circle things look peachy, but that's not what the majority of Americans are feeling. Which is why Biden's approval rating is down over 13% since his first week in office. Anyway, watching him talk anymore is like watching Weekend at Bernie's. It's not likely that he will be our President for much longer. I'm surprised Vegas doesn't have an over/under on it yet. But, the grass isn't always greener...as we already discovered after the last election. |

I never blamed trump for the pandemic that would be stupid just like blaming Biden for the results of a World wide shutdown of the economy and the Oil producing Countries cutting back on product for lack of consumption during a pandemic would be stupid. To think it could be resolved in a year is even more stupid if that's even possible but hey you be you.

Anyway, you can blame Biden, the Squad, and all the other idiots that are just fine with America (and our allies) being dependent on other nations - including our enemies - for the things we need, such as oil. |

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
The double speak for this should be fun.
https://news.yahoo.com/audio-tapes-l...060213231.html INSIDER New audiotapes have leaked of Sen. Lindsey Graham saying that Trump 'went too far' and 'plays the TV game,' while calling Biden the 'best person to have' post-January 6 Lindsey Graham Lindsey Graham Donald Trump Donald Trump Joe Biden Joe Biden Scroll back up to restore default view. INSIDER New audiotapes have leaked of Sen. Lindsey Graham saying that Trump 'went too far' and 'plays the TV game,' while calling Biden the 'best person to have' post-January 6 Cheryl Teh Wed, May 11, 2022, 2:02 AM In this article: Sen. Lindsey Graham was heard in new audiotapes criticizing former President Donald Trump after the Capitol riot, saying Trump was playing "the TV game" and going "too far."Getty Images New audio has leaked of Sen. Lindsey Graham revealing his feelings about Biden and Trump. Graham is heard saying he thinks Biden is the "best person" to have after the Capitol riot. Graham also criticizes Trump in another tape, saying he "plays the TV game" and "went too far." New audiotapes have surfaced of Sen. Lindsey Graham, a known Trump ally, criticizing Trump and praising Biden after the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The tapes were played on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" during an interview segment with New York Times reporters Alex Burns and Jonathan Martin. Martin interviewed Graham on January 6 directly after the riot, and the senator spoke candidly about then-President-elect Joe Biden and the former president, Trump. In the first audio clip, Graham said he thought everyone would "come out of this stronger." "Moments like this reset. People will calm down. People will say, 'I don't want to be associated with that,'" Graham said. "This is a group within a group. What this does, there will be a rallying effect for a while, (then) the country says, 'We're better than this.'" He was then asked if Biden would help make that happen, to which Graham said: "Totally." "He'll maybe be the best person to have," Graham is heard saying. "I mean, how mad can you get at Joe Biden?" In a second audiotape played on CNN, Graham is heard saying in an interview after the riot that he thought Trump "misjudged the passion," criticizing the former president's actions. "He plays the TV game and he went too far here," Graham said. "That rally didn't help, talking about primarying Liz (Cheney.) He created a sense of revenge." Graham was likely referring to a part of Trump's speech at the Ellipse on January 6, 2021, when Trump suggested that his supporters "primary the hell" out of those who do not fight to overturn the election. Graham is known to be a staunch ally of the former president. However, Graham may have had a more complicated view of Trump. In Burns and Martin's new book, "This Will Not Pass," they claim that Graham threatened to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office during the Capitol riot. Trump later mocked Graham, calling him a "progressive senator from South Carolina" during a March fundraising dinner at Mar-a-Lago.
